Berk HFC's caused a check engine light
So I have the Nismo Dual intake, HKS Hi-Power exhaust, and Berk HFC's. A few month's after installing the HFC's, I had the check engine light pop up with the catalyst code. Is there a way around fixing this instead of buying headers? I went to Ptuning in Manassas and asked about tuning, but I was told the best and cheapest thing to do would be to buy headers.

I also had this problem, but the weird thing is that my CEL came on about 7k miles after I installed the berk hfc's..
well anyways to fix the problem I stuffed steel wool into my O2 sensor plugs and it helped, but the CEL came back after about 400 miles. Now I'm just used to seeing the CEL on my dash, so I don't bother anymore.
Come inspection time I just reset my ECU using the pedal method..

yeah the light came on a few thousand miles after install. Then a few weeks after the light came on, my z started running crappy. It was like the sensors remained closed or something
